Appendix:Dark Type

The type is one of the 18 Pokémon elemental types. It is the bane of Psychic-type Pokémon, because Dark-type attacks are super effective towards Psychic-type Pokémon, and Dark-type Pokémon are also immune to Psychic-type moves unless exposed to the move Miracle Eye. This is also supported by the fact that most Dark-type Pokémon have high Physical Attack stat, while Psychic-type Pokémon tend to have low Physical Defense stats. Dark-type moves are also super effective towards Ghost-type Pokémon, but Dark-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-type, Bug-type and the newly added Fairy-type attacks. Frostveil Gym Leader Zeek specializes in Dark-type Pokémon.
